Recently described as “an original composer with something important to say”, Philippe Bodin works to create music both emotionally and intellectually engaging. He shapes his various sources of inspiration – the poetry of Henry Michaux and Fernando Pessoa, ‘pataphysic literature, 1960s jazz, the polyphonic procedures of the franco-flemish school and Africa – into a sonic experience that has been variously described as poignant, passionate, cool, visceral, groovy, transfixing or serene.
